On draught at the CSBC taproom. Hazy straw appearance with only a ring of a head and no lacing. Aroma is grapefruit and pineapple. This is a hop bomb with tropical fruits and non-lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium and very juicy. Not your run of the mill IPA, this is a rarity in the Florida craft beer market, worth seeking out.

Hazy Amber yellow appearance with minimal head. Smell is tropical fruit hop juice bomb. Notes of orange pineapple and grapefruit finish. The taste follows the smell with a pleasant citrus sweetness up front and a very lightly bitter back end. Feel is rather smooth and silky going down with a good body for the style. Overall an excellent juice pale ale. Worth seeking out especially if you live outside of the northeast.

This is another solid beer from these guys.
Nice haze appearance, golden straw.
Smells of tropical fruit and nice dank.
Nice and dry with loads of lemon notes. Dig this one, opens up a lot as it comes to temp.

16 oz. can. Hazy pale orange body. Small white head. Grapefruit hop aroma, predominantly. Some tropical fruits. Melon and papaya. Also has a little bit of floral and white grape. Nice. Tastes of orange, which turns to grapefruit. Some sweet pale malt that combines with the tropical fruit flavors, but it finishes with a big grapefruit hop bite and bitterness. Just a touch boozy. Medium heavy. Medium carbonation. Very surprised how much I'm enjoying this at 8.7%. Nice combination of hops and dry for its size.
